I don't know how much does popcorn etc costs in US theaters but here is India, in multiplexes, popcorn costs more than the price of a single ticket.
I got into Moviepass again because of this. They changed it from the last iteration to be points based. Around me a matinee is 10/20 and a normal time is 20/30 based on day of the week. They have deals certain days too where any movie is 7 points as well. I get the 34 credit plan for $10/mo and I get to go see 1 or 2 movies a month for less than 1 movie normally
Going to the cinema has become a luxury at this point, like (classical) theatre or opera. Which is not a bad thing per se, but the industry should stop complaining.
Holy fucking shit balls.
I got a $10 ticket to see Asteroid City the other day and both my friend and I were like “wow that was really cheap!”
Where was that? I just went to the movies for the first time in years, and bought 5 adult "premium seating" tickets for CAD$91.80, taxes in.
$16.25 each
As a kid, going to the movies on the weekend was a regular event. Nowadays as a dad with a family, it's a luxury.
A subscription to save? Say it ain't so?!!!!! Assholes
You can get the A-List subscription or whatever they call it (basically AMC'e version of Movie Pass). Some friends and I do this and we all see a movie usually every Tuesday.
Movies are releasing into streaming at record pace these days too, so I skip the cinema altogether now. Used to be you'd wait half a year for a movie to go from theaters to video, now it's up on a streaming service the moment its theater run is finished.
